Softing Industrial: Data Integration for Industrial IoT

THE CONNECTIVITY OF MACHINES IS A central component of the digital factory. IoT applications, monitoring, and data analysis can only be implemented flexibly and securely if devices and systems are networked end-toend.

As a recognized expert in digital data exchange in industrial applications, Softing Industrial can support you in bridging technological gaps and flexibly and securely designing smooth data exchange between machines and plants, OT/IT integration, and cloud connectivity.

Our machine connectivity products help to improve scalability and reduce the operating cost of your solution in both brownfield and greenfield projects. The Docker-based edgeConnectors provide access to process data in Siemens and Modbus controllers. The integrated software solution dataFEED OPC Suite serves as a complete package for OPC communication and cloud connectivity, providing access to the controllers of leading manufacturers and to IoT devices. The products improve connectivity at the interface of OT and IT and facilitate the use of standard IT management and monitoring solutions.

Digital plant asset management helps plant managers to improve their operation, commissioning, maintenance, and diagnostics processes. The software and hardware solutions smartLink SW and smartLink HW from Softing Industrial help to unlock HART, PROFIBUS, and other device data for plant asset management applications to support secure and innovative solution architectures.

OPC UA has turned into a de facto communication standard for IT/OT integration, supported by many devices. Softing Industrial offers solutions to connect such devices efficiently, add an additional layer of security, and leverage the full potential of OPC UA information models. The Secure Integration Server (SIS) acts as an aggregator, providing the required address space filtering, access control, and semantic extraction functions via OPC UA, and serves as a central OPC UA server. SIS combines all mechanisms for the management, regulation, and monitoring of data access in one central location. This allows you to control the interface between OT and IT at a single point and manage it easily and securely. The edgeAggregator from Softing Industrial provides OPC UA server aggregation capabilities as well as additional security for OPC UA-based data integration.
